First time Mum

I found out a couple of days ago that me and my husband are expecting our first little one. 😊 I'm overjoyed but also a bit overwhelmed as we managed to conceive in the 1st month of trying which we didn't really expect. I've roughly calculated my due date to be 11th January 2019 which is also my birthday. 😂 I'm not really feeling any different at the moment apart from needing the loo more often. When did you guys start to experience different things?

I've had the positive so I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant (4+6)... I just don't feel it yet but I know it's very early days still. I hope you are all doing well!

I am just going to say that every pregnancy is absolutely different, and to say straight away not to worry about that! I had no morning sickness, for example, and spent a good amount of time worrying about it. But all is fine and I’ve just passed the halfway point 😊. For me I got the boob pain pretty much straight away, followed by tiredness, hunger, super smell and mild food preferences/ aversions. This was all before 6 weeks probably until around 13 weeks. But to compensate for getting off fairly lightly I’ve had some really frustrating symptoms recently (blocked ear every day due to rhinitis 😫 so I have learnt that everyone has their own unique pregnancy!

Congratulations! I started to feel a bit nauseous at about 4 weeks and had sore boobs. My doctor said it's typically 6-7 weeks when people start to get symptoms if they're going to get them.. some don't have any! Main things are to start taking folic acid and vitamin D and all the usual advice of food / alcohol. The NHS website is great!

Hi, I also got pregnant within a month of my partner and I trying for a baby and I was feeling very overwhelmed. I guess you hear so many stories that it takes some couples a while before they get pregnant that although you've decided to start a family you don't expect it to happen a month later. Congratulations though it's great news ☺ I'm about 7 weeks now and just about getting my head around it all. I've felt extremely tired and breasts have been a bit sore and swollen.

Congratulations! I was the same as you - fell pregnant straight away. We're very lucky not to have to play the waiting game! I'm nearly 22 weeks at this stage and the only significant pregnancy symptom I've had so far is crying over stupid things, and that only started in the past month or so! There's a massive variety of thing that can happen to you over the nine months, however, so enjoy all the symptom free time you can get!

Congratulations.. I wasn't as lucky as you ladies. I got pregnant 6 months after marriage. Lost it at 2 months. Pregnant again after 2 months. 7 weeks 3days today.

I only have sore boobs, tiredness, hungry at all times and I sleep a lot. No nausea or vomiting. Now, am having this sore taste in my mouth. But hey, it's a good feeling 😁 enjoy it while it last. For all you know, you might have a smooth nine months.

Congratulations! I’m due with my second on January 13th. I didn’t get morning sickness with my first until 7/8 weeks in ❤️ Make sure to join the January 2019 birth club, there are some lovely ladies there who can give you advice or support 🙈❤️
